Research Article

Overview

Now that we have been through a full class in statistics, we have learned many of the basic analysis techniques used in statistics. These methods can be applied to just about everything, including nursing. We have just touched the surface of statistics, but we should be able to understand more when it comes to reading research articles in the field of nursing. For this discussion post, we will read another article and answer some more complicated questions than we did in module 3.
